RUSkey

The RUSkey is no bigger than a thumbnail to aid carry and concealment on your person.

The RUSkey works on Russian BRS-2 and other handcuffs that share a similar flat key:

– Czech Alfa-Proj/RALKEM 9921- 9930

Made from corrosion resistant 304 Full Hard Stainless Steel that differs from other forms of 304 in that it has been hard cold rolled to its full hard condition. This increases its fatigue life. In its full hard condition, type 304 stainless steel has a tensile strength of 185,000 PSI minimum and a minimum yield strength of 140,000 PSI.

ChatGPT

Message ChatGPT: How can I become a HARD TARGET for HOSTAGE-TAKERS?

ChatGPT: Becoming a hard target for hostage-takers means making yourself difficult to capture, control, or use as leverage. This involves awareness, preparation, and training.

Here are key strategies:

  1. Situational Awareness
    Stay alert in high-risk environments (war zones, conflict areas, crime hotspots).
    Scan for threats—unusual behaviour, escape routes, and possible hiding places.
    Vary your routine to avoid predictability.
  2. Physical Preparedness
    Self-defense training: Learn Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or another combative system.
    Firearm proficiency: If legal, train in handling and retention.
    Fitness: Strength, endurance, and agility can help in resistance or escape.
  3. Travel & Transport Security
    Use secure transportation: Avoid taxis in high-risk zones; use armoured vehicles if needed.
    Check vehicles for tracking devices or tampering.
    Sit strategically in cars and restaurants—near exits with visibility.
  4. Mental & Psychological Conditioning
    Develop a survival mindset: Stay calm under pressure.
    Resist compliance if possible: The first moments of an attack are critical.
    Train for worst-case scenarios: Mental rehearsals help with reaction speed.
  5. Defensive Equipment & Technology
    Wear body armour or protective clothing in risky areas.
    Carry a GPS tracker or emergency beacon.
    Use encrypted communication: Avoid open discussions about travel plans.
  6. Recognizing & Avoiding Traps
    Be cautious of distractions (fake accidents, street scams, unusual requests).
    Stay away from suspicious crowds or gatherings where ambushes are possible.
    Do not overshare online: Kidnappers use social media for intel.
  7. Immediate Action in a Hostage Situation
    Fight if possible: If there’s an opening early in the attack, counter-aggression may work.
    Escape if there’s a chance: Use terrain, obstacles, and cover to break away.
    Manipulate the captors: If caught, use psychology to build rapport or create division.

Are you preparing for a specific scenario, such as travelling to a high-risk area or working in a dangerous profession?

SAD-TOOL

The Special Activities Development Tool (SAD-TOOL), Rake and Tension Tool Wrench are made from Corrosion resistant 304 Full Hard Stainless Steel that differs from other forms of 304 in that it has been hard cold rolled to its full hard condition. This increases its fatigue life. In its full hard condition, type 304 stainless steel has a tensile strength of 185,000 PSI minimum and a minimum yield strength of 140,000 PSI. It is very similar to the steel used to manufacture Tesla’s Cybertruck!

With the appropriate skills, knowledge and understanding can be used to facilitate escape from unlawful restraints and captivity using non-destructive methods.

The SAD Tool that can be used for ‘development’ to explore the capabilities and potential applications of the tool. These ‘special activities’ require access to a set of handcuffs, heavy-duty cable-ties, and a budget padlock (pin and cylinder that locks on one side of the shackle).

With practice, you will be able to remove handcuffs without a key (single and double/transport lock) and exploit weaknesses in the handcuff design to bypass the double-lock mechanism to allow for shimming etc. These methods can be used on so-called ‘high security’ handcuffs that have additional features that would normally require a unique or non-standard key to operate.

With continued practice, it works quicker than a key for taking off the double-lock, particularly when handcuffed to the rear.

You can also use the tool to open a budget padlock without a key and remove cable-ties using non-destructive methods.

The Triple Hump Rake is used in combination with the Tension Tool Wrench to apply tension to the lock as you rake and pick the lock. The importance of tension can not be stressed enough… if there is too much, the pins will not be able to set correctly, and the same will happen if there is not enough tension.

The Tension Tool Wrench is supplied straight with a double end. On one end, you get a top of the keyway TOK wrench, and on the other, you get a bottom of the keyway BOK wrench. You may prefer applying tension at the top of keyway (TOK) or bottom of keyway (BOK), simply add a 90-degree bend where you want it!

STAY HUMBLE

For almost 11 years, I have delivered the Progressive Restraint Escape System to select law enforcement, military, and government agencies.

Being surrounded with peers of various experience levels and putting ourselves into situations where our ability can be measured is a good reminder that the learning process is ongoing, and staying humble and curious is key to becoming an expert in any field.
